The airline has to make room for a renovation project at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG).

"American’s move to Concourse B is taking place to support a major ramp rehabilitation project on all Concourse A gates over the next two years," said Candace McGraw, chief executive officer, CVG, in a news release. “Both American and Delta have been good partners supporting this relocation to enable the construction project.”

All remaining Concourse A airlines will experience temporary gate location changes during a two-year rehabilitation project to the ramp area. The ramp is where passengers and cargo are loaded onto planes.

CVG will open additional concessions on the east side of the concourse to coincide with American's move. Hop & Cask, a new bourbon-themed restaurant will open May 8 to serve Concourse B better along with with the existing Great American Bagel.
